Compatible Replacement & Equivalent Models

When the 1788-ENBT is unavailable or end-of-life, the following alternatives may be considered depending on your system architecture:

1788-ENBT/A — Series A revision; functionally identical, verify firmware compatibility
1756-ENBT — ControlLogix EtherNet/IP bridge module (standalone, not a daughterboard); suitable when migrating to a full ControlLogix chassis
1756-EN2T — Enhanced EtherNet/IP bridge for ControlLogix; higher throughput, recommended for new designs
1756-EN2TR — Dual-port ring topology variant; suitable for DLR (Device Level Ring) architectures
1756-EN3TR — Triple-port EtherNet/IP bridge; advanced redundancy and ring support
MOXA MGate series — Third-party EtherNet/IP gateways for cross-protocol bridging scenarios

Note: Always verify firmware version, series revision, and host module compatibility before substituting. Contact Konmask for pre-sale compatibility verification.

Why Choose the Original Model

Guaranteed OEM compatibility with existing 1788-CN2xx bridge modules — no firmware patching required
Rockwell Automation certified — meets all UL, CE, and C-Tick standards for industrial deployment
Proven field reliability in continuous 24/7 manufacturing environments
Seamless Studio 5000 / RSLogix 5000 integration — recognized natively without additional EDS files
Stable supply from verified distributors — Konmask sources from authorized channels with full traceability

Typical Applications

DeviceNet-to-EtherNet/IP bridging in automotive assembly lines
ControlNet-to-EtherNet/IP gateway in process control systems
PROFIBUS-to-EtherNet/IP integration in legacy plant upgrades
Remote I/O communication over industrial Ethernet in food & beverage facilities
Multi-network integration in oil & gas SCADA systems
Machine-level EtherNet/IP connectivity in packaging and material handling

System Compatibility

The 1788-ENBT daughterboard is compatible with the following host bridge modules:

1788-CN2DN — ControlNet-to-DeviceNet linking device
1788-CN2FF — ControlNet-to-Foundation Fieldbus linking device
1788-CN2PA — ControlNet-to-PROFIBUS PA linking device
1788-CN2PB — ControlNet-to-PROFIBUS DP linking device

Software compatibility: RSLogix 5000 v16+, Studio 5000 Logix Designer v21+, RSNetWorx for EtherNet/IP.

Selection Guide

Use the following criteria to determine whether the 1788-ENBT is the correct module for your application:

Host module check: Confirm your 1788-CN2xx bridge module has an open daughterboard slot
Network requirement: Required if adding EtherNet/IP connectivity to an existing ControlNet or DeviceNet bridge
Throughput: Suitable for standard I/O and messaging loads; for high-density EtherNet/IP traffic (>100 connections), consider 1756-EN2T instead
Topology: Supports star and linear Ethernet topologies; for ring (DLR) topology, select 1756-EN2TR
Environment: Rated for standard industrial environments; for harsh/hazardous locations, verify additional certifications
Lifecycle status: Verify current Rockwell lifecycle status (Active / Mature / Discontinued) before large-volume procurement

Replacement & Compatibility FAQ

Q: Can the 1788-ENBT replace the 1756-ENBT?
A: No — the 1788-ENBT is a daughterboard for 1788-CN2xx bridge modules, while the 1756-ENBT is a standalone ControlLogix chassis module. They serve different form factors and installation contexts.

Q: Is the 1788-ENBT compatible with all 1788-series modules?
A: No. It is specifically designed for 1788-CN2xx linking devices that have a daughterboard expansion slot. Verify your host module’s catalog number before ordering.

Q: What is the difference between 1788-ENBT and 1788-ENBT/A?
A: The /A suffix denotes a series revision. Functionally equivalent in most applications; however, firmware version requirements may differ. Consult Rockwell’s product compatibility matrix or contact Konmask for guidance.

Q: Can I use a third-party EtherNet/IP module as a replacement?
A: Third-party gateways (e.g., MOXA, HMS Anybus) can bridge EtherNet/IP in some architectures, but they require separate configuration and may not integrate natively with Studio 5000. Recommended only when OEM parts are unavailable.

Q: Does Konmask offer repair services for the 1788-ENBT?
A: We currently offer exchange/replacement services. Contact us to discuss repair options for specific cases.

Q: What is the lead time for the 1788-ENBT?
A: In-stock units ship within 1–3 business days. For out-of-stock items, typical lead time is 2–4 weeks depending on sourcing. Submit an RFQ for a confirmed timeline.
